We summited from Silver Lake. What a beautiful day hike! The trail is clearly marked. Just pack a light lunch-- Quest Bars, beef jerky and WATER will suffice. Bring trekking poles. Not a must, but definitely make the descent easier.

Made this hike several times over the years. Top of the hill is a nice part of the PCT, with views of nearby lakes, Lassen Peak, nice granite everywhere. I agree with Justin...there ARE cats here, big cats and bobcats...have never even seen a bear in this area, but there is a lot of bear scat...so they're there

Great hike!! I've done this hike 2 times and look forward to doing it again. Trailhead is about 5-10 miles from Bucks Lake. Fairly steep at first, but levels out further up the trail. Great meadows and moss covered trees. I have seen cat prints on the trail, so be aware.
